Caffè Concerto

Modena


This Piazza Grande establishment manages the delicate juxtaposition of trendy (uber-contemporary decor) and old (cobbled central-square location) without appearing out of place. It wears three hats: all-day cafe, pricey restaurant and evening bar-club. The latter is its best incarnation, thanks to free bar snacks (minimum cocktail purchase €8), chilled Lambrusco and a footloose party atmosphere so often lacking in Italy's Renaissance cities.
